Need help asap,car pulling tricks on me!!!
yesterday i was driving when i came up to a stop sign,and the car cut off. I tried to start it back up and nothing happened. So i got it home,changed the dizzy and plugs and nothing happened. Then i tryed my friends ecu,and still nothing. The car is getting fuel and spark and has compression but will not start.
The main relay is working,and the ecu does come on for 2seconds and shuts off like it should. I checked my timing and it didnt jump or anything. I also changed my map sensor cause i know if its unplugged it wont start either. Everything is wired up and set correctly but the damn thing just wont start.
Anyone have any ideas,it will rotate perfectly fine but will not start for the love of god. Ive also tryed using starter fluid.Ive reset the ecu tons of times.
Now ive tried to check the codes,and when i use a paperclip to jump the lil diag plug,my cel light just remains lit. So i was thinking that its code 0 which is the ecu is bad,but even on another perfectly good ecu it would not run.
Cliff notes,car was running perfectly fine,car shuts off,car will not start back up. Any ideas?

1000000,i pulled off the cover last night and was going to reinstall the timing,but the marks ligned up exactly the way i installed the belt.I used white out to mark it when i first installed it cause i had to use an adj. cam gear.
Plus,it was running perfect,and when i came to a stop and it didnt idle,it just shut off.

Re: Need help asap,car wont start.
It just gave me codes 6,20,22
22 is vtec prolly messed up the wiring when i moved my ecu.
6 is engine coolant,i must of hit it when i put on the dizzy.
20 Electrical Load Sensor (ELD sensor)- i dont know what the hell that means.

I'd check all the engine grounds, tranny everything, then double check the fuse box in/out to make sure the fuses are there and working.
